Alyaa Gad - Wall & Floor Safety

Alyaa Gad - Wall & Floor Safety An important part of good parenting is providing a safe home for your child. I have some safety tips for you to make sure that your family is on the safe side. This episode discusses general rules around the house: Walls & Floors: - Make sure that the wall paint contains no lead. Repair any cracking or peeling paint immediately. - Remove any nails in the walls within the reach of children. - Make sure that mirrors and frames are hung securely. - Secure carpets to floors and fit them with anti-slip pads. Doors & Windows: - Install finger-pinch guards on doors. - Install one-piece door stops (not the ones with rubber tips that could be swallowed) - Place doorknob covers on doors, and keep unsafe rooms always locked with keys hanging away from children’s reach. - Stick or paint colorful sings on all glass doors in the house so they won't be mistaken for open doors. - Have childproof locks on sliding doors, and door stops securing them when they are open. - Have window guards installed on upper-floor windows. - Fix window stops to keep the windows from closing all the way. - Secure window-blind cords with clothespins or clips. Furniture: - Secure bookshelves and other furniture with wall brackets so they can't be tipped over. - Fix protective padding on corners of furniture pieces that have sharp edges. - Fix safety hinges on closet doors to prevent them from closing. - Have flat screen TVs mounted securely on the wall, and older, heavy TVs on a low, stable piece of furniture. - Fix stops on all removable drawers to prevent them from falling out. Or avoid buying drawer chests all together. - Keep beds away from windows. Stairways: - Fix safety gates at the top and bottom of every stairway. - Clear stairways of tripping hazards, such as loose carpeting and toys. - Placed a guard on banisters and railings if your child can fit through the rails. - Keep the doors of rooms you don’t want the children to enter always locked. Electrical: - Cover electric outlets with safety plugs. - Have all major electrical appliances grounded. - Make longer cords fastened against walls. - Remove overloaded electrical sockets and electrical wires running under carpets. - Have televisions screwed to the wall or placed out of children’s reach on sturdy TV tables. Heating & Cooling Elements: - Install a screen on all working fireplaces/heaters/radiators. - Have the chimney cleaned regularly. - Keep heaters at least 3 feet (about 1 meter) from beds, curtains, or anything flammable. Emergency Equipment & Numbers: - Place a list of emergency phone numbers in every room in the house, and save them on your cell phone. - Have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. - Have an emergency ladder for the upper floors. - Have smoke detectors and check their batteries regularly. - Install a carbon monoxide detector if you use natural gas or have an attached garage. Other Safety Issues: - Remove any potentially poisonous houseplants. - Issue a no-smoking rule in your home to protect kids from environmental tobacco smoke and potential fire hazards. - When necessary, check your house for lead, radon, asbestos, mercury, mold, and carbon monoxide. - If there are guns in the home, place them in a locked cabinet with the key hidden and the ammunition locked separately. - Always supervise your child around pets, especially dogs. Wishing you and your family all health and safety.
